The characters in a short story–or any story for that matter–are an essential part of the story. Characters make the story come to life. Without characters in a story, there would be nothing to the story except a setting. In the short story, “A Rose for Emily”, written by one of the twentieth century’s greatest authors, William Faulkner, the characters and their personalities make the story very imaginable and real.

Others will control that change unwilling to adhere to the new and unfamiliar way of things. Many are stuck in the past, in the traditions that guide their lives. Emily Grierson is a product of the Old South, rich in traditions and set in her ways. The New south means change; traditions...

previous statements against co-sleeping, Dr. Richard Ferber, child sleep guru, has now sided with a family’s decision to share a bed with their infants.

The emotional benefits of sharing a bed with your baby can be enormous and some would argue that engaging in co-sleeping strengthens the bond between parent and child.

The possible meanings of both the title and the chronology of William Faulkner’s “ARose for Emily” have been debated for years. What is not under debate is that the chronology deliberately manipulates and delays the reader’s final judgment of Emily Grierson by altering the evidence. In the same way, the title reveals as much as the debate over what the rose means. The only rose that Emily actually receives is the rose in the title, which the author gives...

Interpretation of “The Sick Rose”
William Blake’s “The Sick Rose” is not easily interpreted at first glance. One must look at the deeper meaning behind the figurative symbols that Blake uses to uncover the essence of the poem. In the poem “The Sick Rose” the rose symbolizes a mentally unstable woman due to her abusive and controlling relationship with a man. This is demonstrated by the use of figurative language (symbolism and imagery in particular), the speaker’s tone, and the two illustrations...

Pablo Picasso’s Rose Period
Pablo Picasso Ruiz’s art from 1904 to 1905 is classified under the title, The Rose Period. Misleadingly, the colors in the rose period are not exclusively rose or light pink in color, but also include greens, blues, and reds. This brief period of increased color comes after a time when Picasso depicts his subjects with a lack of coloration, mainly in monochrome blue which gave it the name “The Blue Period”. Although the colors of the rose period were brighter and more...

In Briar Rose, the author Jane Yolen, introduces the audience to a variety of significant ideas that she portrays throughout the text and uses interesting techniques to convey these ideas.
